Rash questions his future as a doctor after treating an old girlfriend.

Elle begins to realise the extent of her son Blake's unruly behaviour when he reacts badly to the suggestion that the family spends Christmas with her new boyfriend, Marty. Worse still, he ditches school, and spends the day drinking with his teenage buddies, and their drunken trouble-making takes a dangerous turn when they convince him to help them rob an off-licence.

Meanwhile, Max continues to make a bad impression on Polly, and house-sharing arrangements are finalised for Alicia, Max and Robyn, but not everyone is keen on the new plans.
